Rotatable Dockingports


Recommended Posts

Well I just encountered the problem that Ive docked two things in orbit and noticed the wrong angle. In my case the docked part is too asymmetrical to rotate it with (Q) and (E).

So it would be very comfortable to have rotating options on used dockingports. Like a (+) and a (-) button on the right-click pop up which slowly rotates the two parts.

My situation:

First off, this is part of the what not to suggest list as of robotic / mechanics (basically any moving parts!), so I will close the thread.

Aligning docking ports is suggested very often:

At the moment I will suggest you to use some mods such as

Docking port alignment

Infernal robotics

and a few more (just have a look at the addon forum and spaceport)

There are also ways to do it stock, I personally use my patience to align my ports.
